Repo unchanged. RBI sounds scared of inflation but not so much. They're gonna use VRRR to keep short term rates relatively high.
This means they will continue to be some printing. VRRRs increase, and will have longer VRRRs (28 days already could be more). If you don't understand this don't worry, it will change absolutely nothing about your life.
Given this, there is really no big need of changing the reverse repo rate.
TLTRO can be repaid in advance, which should help some banks. THere's some 75000 cr. remaining, most were borrowed at 4.4%. This shold reduce need for VRRR also
Digital payments - something is gonna change. They will probably remove or reduce charges totally
UPI up to 5 lakh rather than 2L, but there's some complexity.
This seems a little too senti a speech even for Das.

This is a very weird market. Some of the recent IPOs doing well. Old gen stocks not so much. This doesn't augur that well really - needs a trigger to take it back up
One look at the FII data, and god, they are selling like crazy, you would think. But THEY ARE NOT.
FPI data from NSDL (This is the accurate source, not the exchanges) shows that FIIs have put in a whopping 27,000 cr. into IPOs, while taking money out of other stocks.
In fact FII investments in total have been very very high in 2021 with over 95,000 cr. invested. Biggest year for Debt since 2017.
The PMC rescue: what it means is that rbi insurance pays up to 5l for principal plus interest only till 31 March 2021. If you have more than that you get money in pieces over 10 years but no further interest.
That is retail. All corporates who have money in it will get preference shares at 1% dividend per year with 80% of their money.
The remaining 20% will become equity warrants but to convert to equity they get to do it at the lower end of price band whenever bank goes ipo.
This is positive for the bank and for the acquirers. Most liabilities will be covered by the rbi insurance and share conversion of corporate deposits. Most loans are probably gone, but what loans remain will easily pay for the remaining liabilities over 10years.
Moving out of coal entirely is silly for india right now. We are of course going nuclear for power but it's the rich developed countries that slow us down. We'll move when economics dictate it
Electric 2 and 3 wheelers will rock in India, not because they are environmentally better, but because, in a few years, they will be substantially cheaper.
For power, it will be about storage, localization and a move to DC, IMHO, for residential.
Run Fridge or heater on LPG/PNG and nearly all other devices (even Aircons with VFDs) can run on DC - it'll be cheaper and will reduce use of grid power. Such a thing is a disaster for the large investments in grids and in power plants, but that's okay.
No stock stuff please :) 2022 wise I'll still own a car and use Ola/Uber when I don't feel like driving! Thinking about weight reduction is like an SIP, it happens every month :)
Zee says there is no open offer in a merger - even if effectively Sony is adding cash to buy 53% of the entity that will be merged with Zee.
Is the AGM called off? Asks a caller
This call is for the merger, we cannot comment on whether the EGM called (by Invesco/Oppenheimer) will be called off.
Means those folks haven't been brought on board for the deal?
Valuation: Sony will add 1.6 billion roughly - so around 12,000 cr. - to Sony India, and then they merge, and then Sony will own 53% of the merged entity.
Yesterday's mcap of Zee was 24,000 cr. This means the current 24,000 cr. = 47% of eventual company.(contd)
